Hülkenberg is patient for 2021: “The situation no longer depends on me”

The battle for the second wheel at Red Bull en Formula 1 is in full swing for the 2021 season. The two ex-teammates Sergio Pérez and Nico Hulkenberg have often been cited in the media to replace Alexander albon.

However, after the podium achieved by the Mexican in Istanbul (Türkiye), the balance seems to tip against the German. Moreover, the former pilot Renault patiently awaits his fate, having made two unexpected returns with Racing Point this season.

“Of course, I hope to make another comeback in the near future, the 2010 Brazilian Grand Prix pole sitter confirmed to Red Bull Servus TV. But everything is very calm at the moment. The news has calmed down a bit and I think it will take some time before we have more clarity. »

Nico Hülkenberg is therefore ready to wait, and he shows great calm. “I'm not as involved (that during these races with Racing Point at Silverstone and at the Nürburgring. Ed.), even if I stay in contact with the people in charge who matter in F1. Not every day or every week now.

I let things happen. I feel quite relaxed. The situation no longer depends on me. I remain on “stand-by”. »

Nico Hülkenberg finished his only two races in 2020 in seventh and eighth place and stood out with the third fastest time in qualifying for the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix.
